Abstract
We carried out a search for peak inhomogeneities in the distribution of mat ter - namely clumps and voids, within the range Z similar to 1 - 3. We used a new method, based on the lensing of quasars by a combination of lenses, belonging to the above sought inhomogeneities in the matter distribution. T his work confirms the evidence of the existence of inhomogeneities found by us earlier - of a clump (superattractor N.1), and of a void (supervoid). B esides, the existence of a new gigantic clump (superattractor. N.2) was als o discovered at Z similar to 3. These clumps could well serve as centers of the Bose-condensation in the early Universe; in particular - as Anselm's a rion condensate, which leads to the formation of quasiperiodic structures w ith a period p similar to 100 - 200 Mpc.
